Tony Blair Admits US/Britain Iraq Fiasco
Tony Blair has admitted that the invasion of Iraq has been a fiasco. So just when will George Bush admit this too? Well I don't see it ever happening. I think that the man is too proud and that has what has gotten us into this mess in the first place.
If George Bush would have looked to the intelligence community professionals before the invasion instead of a comfortable little cadre of loyalists he would have heard diverse viewpoints about what would happen after the tanks entered Baghdad. Instead he chose to take a very negative view point where he perceived that the Americans would be welcomed as liberators and everyone would be jumping up and down to embrace an American version of freedom and democracy.
As a result of this "American Arrogance", this part of the world has been turned topsy turvy and violence has been unleashed in unprecedented form against innocent civilians.
Bush is now equating the fight in Iraq with the past fight in Viet Nam. If he had only listened to that argument before he went forward with the invasion. Now as a result from this fiasco, Bush has literally lost all governmental power, disenfranchised the American people, hurt American relationships with important allies, and has injured the Iraq people and economy, all in the name of American Democracy.
